How do you feel about tv programs teaching kids about another language

I don't mind it...I think it's neat.

I wish they did languages earlier here. Kathryn was supposed to start Spanish this year (she is in 7th grade and had the choice of Spanish or French), but will now be doing only 1/2 yr Spanish and 1/2 yr French. Next year she'll pick which she prefers to take for the whole year. This is due to budget cuts, and it makes me sad that it needs to be this way.

I came across Dora the explorer once and started picking up some of it. lol I knew someone who's child watched it and starts speaking spanish just in conversation.

I think it is great and really is beneficial for the kids since the world is definately getting smaller.
